Auction on Thursday, June 3Oth,

And the sale of which will fix the prices Cat
per cent. advancel of 52S other lots
there, which will be sold after the Auction,
cannot be duplicated anywhere in the
world. That the natural terrace is superior
to that of Monte Carlo; that the vegetation
will be more profuse than that of Mentone;
that the climate is better than that of Nice;
that in this Nation OF sixty millions of peo-
Pile there are a half n million who live upon
iheir incomes who will next year take
trip to California to examine, and half of
these will conclude to remain here. that
every available foot Of land in Southern
California sloping to the ocean skirted by a
railroad, and possessing fresh water, will
sell at prices which would now almost
stagger our own abundant faith, ii we were
to lame them.
We know ell this we do not merely be-
lieve II. We KNOW it. IL Is q matter of
faith IL is a mathematical proposition.
There are not more than teu miles of ocean
frontage ON this coast which possesses fresh
water, soil, view, and railroad at their
feet. OF these ten miles, DEL MAR has the
cream, and there are but few hundred
residence lots in DEL MAR. There viii be
inside of year ten people who wis h to pur-
chase lot there, for every lot there is for
sale. The people who wish to purchase will
increase every year; the lots will never in
crease. What is it that makes vacant 25-
feet lot on Madison avenue sell for Sl7, 500?
II is the law of supply and demand; 1t is
because there are more people who want
lots there, than there are lots to be had
there.
The same condition here will produce the
same result here. Before this day three
years, the DEL MAR lots you will probably
buy at thT Auction for three hundred to
| five hundred dollars will, we predict, sell
for ten thousand dollars.
"If you thiak so," says some wise
logician, why don't yon keep the lots?"
Dearly beloved, they are not ours to keep !;
we expect to take few Of them. but the
bulk will be sold because the owners must
SELL and they are placed In our hands for
sale. The present owners Will make a profit
on their investment, the buyers at the Auc-
tlon viii make larger profit on theirs; we
will make our commission, and all of ue
win be satisfied with the result.

When Minneapolis, in the fall of 1S52A
held its first general election, there
were only sevcnty-three votes polled,
according to G. Wright Dawson, in his
little history of the city, prefaced Min
neapoliS City Directory for 1SS6-ST."
He does not mention, however, if any
of the votes ut that time were Scanaina-
Wan or not. To-day fully one-third of
the inhabitants of Minneapolis are Sea-
dinavan. either by birth or descent.
One-third of the Minneapolis population
means nearly G0.0G0SoulS! TO these the
Flour City of Minnesota owes certainly
4 gigantic part of its growth and pros
perity. and in sustaining the city'S gal
liant reputation i'll this respect the Sean
dinayian trio of robust, cOngenial citi-
Zens bear an undiSputable large and
very hOnOred part. 'Quick to aSSimilate

ScandinavianS bring effectively to bear,
in their adopted country, their native
characteristics of energy, independence
and integrity. They easily enter into
the progressive and democratic spirit of
American institutions.
The SWedeS, as well as the Danes,
are rather more conservative by nature
than the NOrWegianS, and are conSe-
VatiOnS. They are very persistent in
labor and make all steps count. The
Norwegians are more often ready to
take up with new enterprises and ac-
ccpt risk in opportunities for progress.
They find American air thoroughly con-
genial to their nature"
oh the whole, the Scandinavian ele-

public officials. professional men and
business men.
